    Is it stupid of me to go to a deaf meet with only limited ASL?

    men being there specifically to look for what they may think of as "weak" women is a definite possibility too. There is a problem in groups like AA and NA with men who are not drinkers or addicts, but go to these meetings looking for vulnerable women, women in recovery could be considered as...

    Interesting Research

    Pretty cool, and very understandable. If one sense is not working, the others will sharpen up to compensate.

    i need some help on chemistry homework..

    ugh, chemistry...I had to take it a few years back, my teacher was from India, with an accent so thick that she could have stood in front of us going blah blah blah la la la la blah blah for 3 hours for all I could understand (maybe that is similar to what a deaf person experiences?) Anyway, it...

    Students Looking for ASL buddies

    Hey there WestwoodASL.com has a medical/safety ASL course. Not sure what it contains, you could maybe email the guy who teaches it (contact link is on the site) and ask him if the course will fit your needs. His other courses are $5 for a 1month lesson/module, which is pretty reasonable...

    A little confused and frustrated

    Heehee...Me? Angry at men? Those poor innocent misunderstood creatures? Ha! I love men. I get along better with men than I do with women, always have. But I KNOW men too. Probably more than I should. I have "been around the block" a few times. Also, I thought before making my post that...

    Blind Man Gets His Guide Dog Back

    So glad this story had a happy ending. I agree that he should be more careful about leaving a dog unattended. Not only do you have to worry about the dog wandering off on his own, but there are people out there who steal dogs for reasons that are pretty low, such as selling them to drug labs or...

    Is it stupid of me to go to a deaf meet with only limited ASL?

    I am so glad to see all of the encouraging posts here. Lots of great people on this forum!! I have been looking and looking in my area (south jersey) for some deaf events, finally got a contact on facebook who is getting info for me on 3 -a monthly coffee meetup, an ASL church service, and...

    deafness as a turn on

    Sorry, no intention to lump anyone. All I meant is that there are people out there who look for certain types of people for relationships. I used to just go for a certain type myself, and there was no straying from it...for example, I like tall, big men..still do, though I am not so picky now...

    Deaf people and Christianity

    Age has a lot to do with it. As teens and young adults, of course we are going to rebel against our parent's beliefs....but, as we get older, we may take a second look at all of the things we abolished, and many people go back to the church or at least make a decision not based solely on rebellion.

    Science or Spirituality...You Choose:

    So true, so true...that is where I stop and think that even though there are so many arguments against God, spending my entire life waiting for NOTHING is pretty sad. So what if I turn out to be wrong? Life is hard, life is painful...maybe religion IS a manmade invention, to help us to deal...

    Deaf people and Christianity

    I saw that too, but I surmised that the meaning was that RELIGIOUS PEOPLE IN GENERAL are in touch with their spiritual sides, not any specific religion...the word christian was probably used because that was what the original question referred to.

    A little confused and frustrated

    Or maybe he is just a jerk who was too "busy" to contact you and figured he would send you some bullshit message acting all concerned at the last minute on Friday night, pretending that he thought YOU were supposed to contact HIM. Until you know him better, don't give him the benefit of the...

    Science or Spirituality...You Choose:

    Faith is belief in spite of all the things that say it ain't so. Of course some people take it too far, but most stay in the middle ground, and if it gives their lives comfort and meaning and keeps them from molesting my kids, then that's fine by me. None of us will really know the answer...

    deafness as a turn on

    In my extensive research on the human sexual experience I have read that a fetish is physical arousal from a NON LIVING object. People can have normal sex lives outside of their fetish-related activities, but many do feel compelled to frequently act on their needs where the fetish is concerned...
